I like using machine learning to solve problems in physics, from discovering physical laws from observational microscopy data, designing and making better materials, and moving atoms by electron beams. Currently my group build automated microscopes.

🙏 Off to the APS March meeting to give Adler Prize lecture on closing the characterization loop via reward driven workflows.

DM if you would like to meet and grab a coffee!

What makes this conference special is that it is also the first talk of Dmitri Kalinin!

Reinforcement learning is not the right algorithm for the cartpole problem. LLMs are not the right algorithm for math or causal inference. It's amazing to see the ML community trying to use fantastic tools for tasks they are not built for.

With a defined reward function, everything is an optimization problem. And we know how to solve optimization problems.
